Uncle43,
was there EVER a confirmed claim of 40%?
I'm sure you saw Tamilnut jumping up and down, quoting 'Air Force personnel' about that. Of course, the Air Force showed them that they were still fighting fit.
As for shooting down a supersonic jet, I doubt it. And is it a Kfir, MiG, or a crow? Tamilnut is a bit confused about it.

Uncle43,
'Our auto activated air-defence-system attacked the Sri Lanka Air Force MIG-27 bomber when it approached Ira'anaimadu airfield on a bombing mission,' Ilanthirayan said claiming responsibility for the attack.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports from Colombo said a Israeli-built fast attack Kfir which took off from Katunayake Air Force base Monday has failed to return to the base.
Both courtesy Tamilnut. If it's a MiG that was shot down, what about this missing Kfir? Did the LTTE shoot that down as well? Why aren't they making merry about it then? |

The Difference between an Unconfirmed Report and a Confirmed Report seems to elude You!
As I previously stated I Don't Believe Unconfirmed Reports.... Only Confirmed Ones...... |

And if it indeed was Mig that was shot down, why tamilnet won't update the story about Kfir to say it was actually a Mig27?
I think this is a story tamilnet created to confuse people at lankanewspapers. LOL |

I also have said this before but every raid they carry out further emboldens the political AND military support from friendly nations to SL.
Eksath you may be correct, though I am not so sure given the almost total silence from the IC even after 3 or 4 attacks.
However what I am sure about is that the president has certainly put his foot right into the muck with his so called proposal. The IC is certainly NOT going to like that, so let's see how it plays out. |

Uncle43,
As 1010 says, if it was a MiG that was shot, why doesn't Tamilnut make a statement saying they had made a mistake about the Kfir and that it was actually a MiG? These 'unconfirmed' and 'confirmed reports' do nothing but confuse people. Tamilnut should at least be gracious enough to clear up the mess it created. |

[Get serious about LTTE threat
http://www.hindu.com/2007/05/01/stories/2007050101830800.htm
It is more than 50 days since 12 Indian fishermen were abducted by the Sea Tigers ? the naval arm of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Unfortunately, there has been no word of condemnation yet from the Government of India or the Tamil Nadu government. Political parties in Tamil Nadu are the first to condemn the Sri Lankan government for killing, capturing, or intimidating fishermen from the State who cross the international maritime boundary line. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has adopted several resolutions condemning the island nation's navy. But when the State's Director General of Police, D. Mukherjee, revealed that the Sea Tigers were directly involved in the firing on Indian fishermen that left five people dead on March 29, and that 12 missing Indian fishermen, including one from Kerala, have been detained by the LTTE from March 4, the reaction was muted. It was left to the Congress and the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam to highlight the issue in the Assembly. The pro-LTTE parties and groups have expectedly maintained a damning silence. Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, who registered his shock, offered an assurance that the LTTE would be given no room in Tamil Nadu. As though these anti-India extremist acts were not enough, improvised LTTE aircraft bombed oil storage tanks and facilities in Colombo in the early hours of Sunday. The fuel depot of Ceylon Petroleum Storage Terminals Limited, a joint venture of the Indian Oil Corporation, the Government of Sri Lanka, and the Ceylon Petroleum Corporation, was targeted. Even this has not been condemned.
The time has come to remind the Congress-led government at the Centre that foreign policy, even when it involves Sri Lanka, must be made in New Delhi ? not in Chennai, and certainly not under the influence of pro-LTTE parties. It has become abundantly clear that the banned terrorist organisation, especially through the Sea Tigers and now a small air wing, has emerged as a security problem for India. The people of Tamil Nadu ? who decidedly do not want a return to the benighted experience of 1983-1991 ? expect both the Central and State governments to crack down on all groups and fringe elements that aid and abet, from Indian soil, the activities and cause of the LTTE. India must also equip its neighbour to deal defensively with threats to its vital installations. Without directly getting involved in the military effort in Sri Lanka, India must provide state-of-the-art radars and anti-aircraft guns to the Sri Lankan government to neutralise the threat from the LTTE air force. It is shocking that the LTTE, which took quite a beating in recent months from the Sri Lankan armed forces, has been able to deploy its light aircraft, concealed in the Vanni, on bombing raids thrice in recent weeks without coming under effective attack. |
